Why IPO Annual Meeting 2025 Matters for AI and Patents

This year’s agenda aligns with Solve’s strategic vision, and here are the key AI-focussed sessions we’ll be engaging in:

  • Best Practices in Global Patent Drafting: A blueprint for adapting AI-assisted drafting to meet jurisdiction-specific standards and nuanced requirements, especially between the US and Europe.
  • What Can Outside Counsel Do Better & Differently for IP Teams: How AI platforms can enhance efficiency, responsiveness, and strategic contribution to IP teams big and small.
  • The Intersection of AI and Patents from the Perspective of Previous USPTO Directors: Former USPTO leaders will share perspectives on how AI tools are being used in prosecution, how offices are approaching AI as an inventor, and the treatment of AI-generated prior art.
  • Navigating the Complexities of AI Trade Secrets and Litigation: Issues around safeguarding AI-generated work product and maintaining confidentiality.
  • Bridging the Digital Divide: Navigating AI through the EU AI Act, US Regulations, and International Legislation: A deep dive into AI governance frameworks — crucial for compliant, future-proof AI tool adoption.

Our Goal at IPO Annual Meeting 2025

Our aim is simple: to collaborate with industry leaders on shaping the future of AI for patents.

  • End-to-End AI-Assisted Patent Process: Solve’s Patent Copilot™ delivers jurisdiction, technology, and user-specific drafting — precise, efficient, and customizable. 
  • AI as the Drafting Co-pilot: Clients increasingly expect AI that complements human expertise. Solve’s approach ensures practitioners stay in the driver’s seat, shaping strategy and quality of patent portfolios. 
  • Strategic Choice, Secure Implementation: We'll connect with patent leaders to explore how AI solutions are being evaluated, integrated, and aligned with firm-wide goals. 
  • Supporting AI Champions & Building Trust: We’ll exchange ideas on establishing internal champions, cultivating governance frameworks, and defining KPIs that measure drafting turnaround, quality improvement, and overall ROI. 

While in San Diego, we’ll also be hosting our Customer Advisory Board (CAB) meeting — bringing together leaders from our user community to:

  • Share the latest updates on Solve Intelligence.
  • Exchange feedback and strategic insights.
  • Co-create the roadmap for the future of AI in patent drafting, prosecution, invention harvesting, and more.

Our CAB is a core part of how we ensure our platform evolves with and for the practitioners who use it.

David Joo, our Founding Member of Products and Partnerships Counsel, will also be attending the IPO Leadership Meeting in his capacity as Vice Chair of the Small/Micro Law Firm & Company Committee.

Page White Farrer Adopts Solve Intelligence and Solve's AI Templates

Page White Farrer ("PWF"), a specialist intellectual property firm with a longstanding focus on technology-driven innovation, has selected Solve Intelligence to support patent application drafting following an extensive evaluation of available AI tools. The firm has initially deployed the platform within its technology-focused patent teams, supporting work across sectors such as AI, software, telecommunications, electronics, semiconductors and engineering. 

The firm's objective was not to automate legal judgement or replace attorney expertise, but to accelerate the preparation of high-quality first drafts of patent applications. By combining AI-assisted drafting with custom templates tailored to the firm's preferred drafting approaches, Solve Intelligence helps attorneys move from an initial claim set to a reviewable first draft more efficiently while maintaining consistency and technical accuracy. 

For this partnership, PWF's primary focus was on configuring the platform around the firm's own drafting conventions, client preferences and established best practices, ensuring that the technology supports the way its attorneys already work. 

The Honest Risks of Using AI in Patent Prosecution

AI is changing how patent prosecution gets done, and the upside is real. So are the downsides: hallucinated citations, confidentiality exposure, export-control pitfalls, and prosecution-history estoppel. This is an honest account of the risks of AI patent software in prosecution, and what actually reduces each one.

Key takeaways

  • Anyone presenting AI-assisted content to the USPTO must reasonably review it; relying on the tool's accuracy alone is not enough.
  • Courts have already sanctioned attorneys for AI-hallucinated citations, and similar risk applies to office-action responses and PTAB briefs.
  • The USPTO warns that AI tools on foreign servers can raise export-control, foreign-filing-license, and national-security problems.
  • Grounded citations, exposed reasoning, zero data retention, and attorney oversight are what materially reduce AI risk in patent prosecution.

Maiwald Chooses Solve Intelligence for Selected AI-Supported IP Workflows

Solve Intelligence is proud to share that Maiwald, one of Germany’s largest and most progressive intellectual property firms, works with Solve Intelligence on selected AI-supported workflows in its patent and legal practice groups. Following an evaluation period during which selected functionalities were assessed for approved internal use cases, Maiwald and Solve have formed an enterprise partnership for 2026.

The rollout reflects the same careful approach Maiwald brings to its client work. Solve enables customers in Europe to process data on servers located within Europe and holds recognized information-security certifications. In addition, Solve offers contractual commitments designed to protect confidential professional information in line with applicable statutory confidentiality obligations and professional conduct requirements. Against that background, any use of AI-supported tools took place only within approved governance structures and under applicable professional, contractual, confidentiality and data-protection requirements.

That balance of innovation and professional judgment is characteristic of Maiwald. The firm has spent decades setting a standard for IP work in Europe: rigorous prosecution, a formidable contentious practice, and interdisciplinary teams of patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law working side by side. The firm approached AI the same way, methodically, with a clear sense of where it adds leverage and where an experienced attorney’s judgment remains irreplaceable.
